1. PERSONAL: Do at least 10 blog posts a month
Although there were two months that I only got 9 posts done, I blogged extra in other months to make up for it, so I'm counting this as a success. I know that if I hadn't made this a goal, I wouldn't have kept up on my blog, because doing college class work has become a priority in my spare time, but since it was a goal, I always made sure to try to get my blogging done, too.

2. SPIRITUAL: Go to the temple 6 times
In the years that I haven't made this a goal, I've discovered that I don't find the time to attend the temple because it isn't a priority! I'm glad to say I was successful in accomplishing this goal this year, and I enjoyed attending different temples throughout the year!
March: went once to Idaho Falls temple for Amanda's first time through
May: went twice--once to Idaho Falls for cousin Kimberlee's wedding and once to Jordan River with Amanda and her sister-in-law Erica
June: went once to Logan temple for my sister Katrina's wedding.
November: went once to Ogdan temple with Josh
December: went once to the Rexburg temple alone
3. EDUCATIONAL: Complete 25 university credits
I only completed 24--but I'm still counting this as a success because I also completed my university orientation class which was a requirement for my university, but it wasn't worth any credits.
April: completed 6 credits (3 in Critical Thinking, 3 in Math Appreciation)
June: completed 6 credits (3 in U.S. Government/Constitution, 3 in Math for Elementary Educators I)
July: completed 3 credits (Math for Elementary Educators II)
September: completed 3 credits (Culture & Diversity)
October: completed 3 credits (Math for Elementary Educators III)
November: completed 3 credits (Foundational Perspectives in Education)
4. MARRIAGE: Go on a date with Josh once a month
I loved this goal because I love spending time with my favorite person in the world! We have some awesome friends in Salmon that we doubled with quite often, which makes it more worthwhile to go out, too!
January: ate dinner at Costa Vida then saw P!NK in concert!
May: went 3x: once to dinner at Hwy 28 with just Josh and I for Mother's Day, once to dinner at Hwy 28 (again!) & karaoke afterwards for John's birthday with Amanda & Krissy, and once to appetizers at Bertram's and dancing/karaoke after with John & Amanda.
November: Went out 5x: ate lunch at Josephine's Pizza and shopped at the High Country Trail where we purchased some photo prints from Joey, ate dinner at Hwy 28 Club with John, Brad, and Amanda and went to karaoke and dancing afterwards, watched the movie "Meet the Mormons" at the movie theater together and shared a popcorn, went out for dinner and then dessert with Josh, John, Amanda, and Krissy, and went Black Friday shopping in Ogden, had lunch at Costa Vida, went car shopping, and went to the temple in Ogden.
5. PHYSICAL: Exercise every week
I consider this one a success! I was really getting into shape and enjoying the benefits from exercise! From July to November, I took it even further and exercised almost every single day!
January: attended yoga classes every week
February: attended yoga classes 3 weeks and went skiing one week
March: attended yoga class 1 week, rode bike during 2 weeks, and went walking/hiking in Arches National Park with the family 1 week
April: attended yoga class 3 weeks, walked in Seattle 1 week
May: walked for 2 weeks at 4th grade field trips, walked 1 week with Josh, planted & worked in garden 1 week
June: went to water aerobics 1 week, ran around soccer field 1 week, hiked at Craters of the Moon one week, (and I missed a week of exercise)
July: walked 1 mile one week, walked on treadmill 3 weeks
August: walked on the treadmill almost every single day, walked/hiked at Yellowstone one week, and went to water aerobics 3 times
September: walked on the treadmill almost every single day, rode bikes with the boys several times, and went to water aerobics twice

November: walked on the treadmill
December: walked on the treadmill, hiked up the mountain to get Christmas trees, went sledding, and went skiing.
6. FINANCIAL: Pay off my credit card
I've come a long way in my finances this year, and I'm so glad I can say that I accomplished this goal!
March: I paid off my hospital bill from last year!
May: I paid off my Lane Bryant card AND my regular Credit Card this month. What a good feeling to go into summer (when there's no income for me from the school) without any debt! Yay!
November: Paid off my Line of Credit bill after charging on it during the summer months when I had no income.
7. SOCIAL: Do a random act of kindness every month
I'm so glad I made this a goal! I kept reminding myself to look for opportunities to serve and I enjoyed providing service for others throughout the year!
January: helped stack wood at the Beers' home
February: gave a man a ride home one night after I saw him walking and carrying paint cans
March: made and delivered cookies to a neighbor, volunteered to take several family photos of strangers while at Arches National Park
April: made cookies for a woman in the ward who was having a birthday, gave money and food to students on the high school band/choir Seattle tour
